Lease Renewals
A renewal is the cheapest month of occupancy you will ever buy. No vacancy, no make-ready, no placement fee — which is why we start the conversation early and price it to be accepted.
Everything in Lease Renewals
Early outreach, a rent recommendation grounded in live comparables, and the paperwork handled — because turnover costs far more than a renewal.
- Renewal outreach 90 days before lease expiry
- Market rent analysis against live comparable leases
- Renewal pricing recommendation with the reasoning attached
- Negotiation with the tenant on your behalf
- Texas-compliant lease revision and re-execution
- Term-length strategy to avoid expiry in a weak leasing season
- Renewal confirmation and documents in your owner portal
- Non-renewal notice handling when that is the better call
- No setup fee
- No hidden charges
- Cancel with notice, per your agreement
The arithmetic of a renewal
Turnover is not one cost, it is four: the vacant weeks, the make-ready, the placement fee, and the risk that the next tenant is worse than the one who left. Against that, the last $50 of a rent increase is rarely worth chasing.
We model the renewal against the alternative — what the property would actually re-lease for, and how long that would take — and bring you a number with the reasoning attached rather than a default percentage.
Start at 90 days
Renewal outreach begins about 90 days before expiry. That is enough time to negotiate, to give proper notice if the tenant is leaving, and to have the property listed before it is empty rather than after.
It also gives us room to set the new term deliberately. A lease that expires in December is a lease that will re-let slowly; steering the renewal term toward spring or early summer is worth real money over a holding period.
When not to renew
Sometimes the right recommendation is not to renew. Chronic late payment, lease violations, or a rent that has fallen well below market can all make a clean turnover the better outcome. We will say so, handle the non-renewal notice, and move straight into re-leasing.
The Process
90 days out — analysis
We pull live comparable leases, review the tenant's payment and care record, and form a recommendation.
Owner decision
You get the recommended rent, the term, and the reasoning. The number is yours to set.
Tenant negotiation
We present the offer, handle the back-and-forth, and aim to land it well before expiry.
Execution
Texas-compliant lease revision, re-execution, and confirmation filed to your owner portal.
Lease Renewals Across the Austin Suburbs
We provide lease renewals for rental owners across the suburbs north of Austin.
Lease Renewals Questions
What does a lease renewal cost?
Renewals are $200, and that includes a mid-tenancy inspection — against $1,200 to place a new tenant, which is the point. Renewing a good tenant is the cheaper outcome and the one we work toward.
How far in advance do you start the renewal process?
About 90 days before the lease expires. That leaves time to negotiate, to give proper notice if the tenant is leaving, and to have the property listed before it sits empty.
How do you decide how much to raise the rent?
We compare against live comparable leases in your submarket and weigh the increase against what turnover would actually cost — vacancy, make-ready, and placement. You get the recommendation and the reasoning, and you set the final number.
What if I do not want to renew the tenant?
We handle the non-renewal notice on the timeline the lease and Texas law require, then move directly into make-ready and re-listing so the vacancy is as short as possible.
